Cracked and visited neighbouring town's bakery after my failed posting attempt. Why does this feel like confessing to an infidelity? Who could resist this Cranberry and Almond bread loaf? Tasted good on its own, even better toasted with butter.
Realised my 'followers' had passed the 100 mark! Hello everybodeeeeeee! *Grover wave* I need to sort out my side bars and put up some links and follow back (I always forget to 'follow' as I use the Google Blog Reader).
Enjoyed some play time.
The toddler, at 16 months, finally decided to toddle.
He can get into twice as much trouble now.
Freaked out a bit about all the unfinished projects I really need to finish, so I poured a cuppa, wrote a list and got a grip on myself.
The mister's going to know I've been into the truffles again when he sees this.
Received a lovely award from the even lovelier Diana over at Sticks and Bubbles. Thank you Diana!
Diana has a fabulous eye for colour and makes the most amazing fabric matches. Like this, or this, or how about this. And this is just soooooo nice. One inspiring lady. Plus she blogs in English even though she's Romanian, which is bloody hard work.
Cut a bunch of half-square triangle blocks.
Finally finished the hand binding on the minky baby quilt.
And saving the most exciting 'til last (no offence Carli and Diana ;):
Found out our first routine ultrasound scan was normal and that baby number four (eeeek!) is doing well and due mid July. A French summer baby? Mais oui, merci!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Hello! Congratulations on your toddler toddling and a healthy baby on it's way. I read blogs in Google Blog Reader too, hate the one on Blogger, but if you "follow", it will automatically send it to your Reader too. You say you're over 100 followers... I noticed that it says on my profile I'm only allowed 100, did yours say that too? Did it change it's mind? Not that I'm in any danger of reaching that point!
Thank you Wendy! I think I am talking about followers the other way around - in that there are 100 people following my blog. I'm not sure how many I'm following in my reader (too scared to count!). But I didn't know you could 'follow' a blog and that would load it automatically into your blog reader - I've just been manually adding my subscriptions. Thanks for teaching me something!
Wow, congratulations to your new baby's first ultrasound! So exciting... and the blanket turned out beautiful.
Have a great weekend, love Maaike
Congratulations on baby #4 and do pass on any hints on how I can get my Mister to believe me that I NEED #3 . . . . he says things like "you can't go to Europe pregnant" or "I'm not taking a new born to Europe" or "you're getting close to 40" or "we have 2 and I'm done" .. .. .. *sigh*
Love the minky quilt -
Thanks for the tips re France - planning is so much fun but even better when you have such an awesome blog to follow and see inspiring photos of places to visit such as yours xxx
Oh my gosh, how jolly exciting!!! No.4 will be so cute. The big kids will adore having a baby again. We all love our No.4, she gets away with everything as she's so funny. Guess you'll have to make another quilt now.
Love those links. What a clever lady. Love your new triangles as well. What is the natural fabric you are using?
Love your embroidery colours too. And jolly well done getting that sweet quilt finished. Big tick for you! Oh thanks so much for your email, I'll give it some serious thought in the next few weeks.
Bonjour Kirsty - just love that cranberry & almond bread - Congrats you've made the 100 followers - that's an achievement - keep blogging coz I love your posts.
Wow! Baby number 4!!! Congratulations!
You do worry me with all these talks of strikes. Everyone seems to go on strike over there! Just one more thing to add to the list of travel worries!!
Sarah - all those fabrics are actually IKEA bed linen! The reds/oranges are cut from a doona/duvet set (the red version of the blue/green one I used to make my pixelated quilt) and the neutral colour is a dvala bedsheet. I really love that brown, and it goes so nicely with all the warm reds. I'm sure there is a Kona solid that matches it, but until I can get my mitts on a colour chart it's hard to know.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Number 4! Wow, congratulations.
